question of the day

June 4th is widely remembered across the world for the Tiananmen Square Protest in China, a moment that is now a symbol of peaceful resistance.

everyone is aware of the general outcome, the police beating the crowd claiming self defense and then the international community backlash and so on. but what is lesser known is the technological impact.

in response to this protest , the CCP government majorly intensified efforts to control information, advanced data sovereignty maintaining tactics, and eventually created the most advanced digital censorship framework in the world.

what name, a play on this country's (arguably) most famous "thing" was this strategy called?
